Doctor, I'm really strong!

It's strange, really. Terra has developed quadcopter drones and helicopters, and they're quite skilled at using them, but the development of fixed-wing aircraft is barely noticeable. There's clearly something wrong with their tech tree. If Terra's technological development really relies on archaeology, then maybe they haven't unearthed any fixed-wing aircraft yet? If they had unearthed a Gundam, could we be living out the UC story by now?

After a brief lapse in thought, Liu Jiuli closed the file and said, "Let the guerrillas come back. There's no point in continuing the harassment. The enemy will be approaching Chernobog as early as tomorrow afternoon."

Froststar nodded and continued, "The defense zone deployment is complete, and the plan can be executed at any time."

"Then let's proceed according to plan. This is a battle to defend our homeland, and we have no way out."

Lacking long-range heavy firepower, when facing the enemy's superior land-based naval forces, the only option is to loyally board them.

Unexpectedly, in an era with artillery, I'm resorting to retro tactics. If I could build a bomber squadron with ample ammunition, I could bomb the Ukrainian army into submission in no time.

Once this battle is over, we should put all of these things on the agenda.

Chernobog was already on high alert at this time, and a large number of non-combatants had been evacuated, leaving behind soldiers and volunteers. Among them, there are a few figures that are worth noting.

Winter, Truth, Early Dew, Gummy, and Summer Blaze are members of the Ursus Student Self-Government Association.

In the game, the bears' plight is very pitiful. Originally, reality would have followed this cruel script, but history was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Liu Jiuli, a powerful figure, which turned history into a jumbled mess, racing wildly in an unimaginable direction, ultimately resulting in what we see today.

The original school was preserved, and the students continued to attend classes as usual. However, there weren't enough teachers, so they had to draw on the remaining thousand teachers from the sports department to continue their classes. Those who wanted to leave were sent directly to the nearest mobile city. In any case, they couldn't let things turn out like in the game.

Even Mephistopheles was sent to school by Liu Jiuli, so naturally no one bothered the other students.

However, letting these future talents drift aimlessly was clearly not what Liu Jiuli wanted to see. So he formed a youth group, recruiting young people with ideals, beliefs, and perseverance to serve as an auxiliary force in the reconstruction of Chernobog. Historical experience has shown us that it is essential to allow students to participate in social activities to a limited extent. This can greatly enhance their social experience, reduce the gap between them and society after adulthood, help them understand the hardships their parents face, and help them establish correct values. It is a win-win situation for families, society, and schools.

As the most combative and responsible member of the group, Rindou naturally joined and quickly rose to the position of head of the youth branch. Mari was the vice head, while Zaoru, relying on her senior status and experience as the student council president, became the vice head of the youth branch.

The regimental commander is Liu Jiuli, and in the future, a party member or cadre will be selected to take the position, but the Red Guards have not yet established a party organization.

It's quite embarrassing, really. Liu Jiuli built the Red Guards according to his memory, and it had all the necessary organizational structure, but he didn't establish a political party.

The main reason is that Liu Jiuli felt he couldn't find many party members around him who were worthy of the red flag, so he wanted to cultivate them for a period of time first, and then establish a party when the time was right. As for the name...

Why not just call them Bolsheviks? After all, it's a fitting name for a revolution in Ursus.

Winter had no idea what was going to happen next, but she loved her life right now.

When Chernobog went into chaos, she thought it was all over and the best outcome would be that everyone would die in the school. But she never expected that the Reunion Movement would be wiped out so quickly and replaced by an organization called the Red Guards. Then Chernobog took a complete 180-degree turn and became what she never dared to imagine before.

Infected people work alongside ordinary people. In the factory, workers vote to decide most things. Even the factory manager and the speed of the machines have to obey the workers' committee. Moreover, these workers also need to receive education, from literacy to night school and technical school. In short, as long as you want to learn and have the ability, there are opportunities everywhere in Chernobog.

Labor can provide food and clothing, lead to wealth, and allow one to live the life of the nobles of the past—something that workers and farmers could never have imagined.

According to those noble lords, they were born noble and destined to rule over all commoners and the lowest of the low; if the world were without them, it would be destroyed tomorrow.

But now Chernobog has no nobles, and factory owners and farmers have been hung on lampposts. The city is now happier, and everyone has a hopeful smile on their face. This makes Winter re-examine everything.

Reality doesn't lie, so it must be people who lie.

Those nobles felt that this had always been the case, but is it right just because it has always been this way?

Anyway, Truth is currently reading a very interesting book, and Winter is also very interested in it. Unfortunately, the library has too few copies, so the two of them can only read it together or take turns reading it. However, the content in the book is indeed very interesting.

However, judging from some people's reactions, this is more than just interesting.

Section 79: Faith Begins with Streetlight Ornaments

Winter's initial impression of the Red Guards began with a group of street lamp ornaments.

In reality, it was Liu Jiuli's purge of the Integration Movement and the entire Chernobog, eliminating those classes that had betrayed him, as well as the remaining hostile classes in Chernobog.

This includes nobles and capitalists, as well as the hybrid product of the two—the aristocratic capitalist.

Especially the last one, which perfectly inherits some of the advantages and all the disadvantages of both sides, belonging to the level that is the most despicable among them, except for the compradors.

To ensure that the paper they used for painting was clean enough, the first Ministry of Internal Affairs was established, and Cheka officials began sending Gulag invitations and Lubyanka admission tickets to these former acquaintances of the class.

You can't refuse, dear~

To be honest, Liu Jiuli was quite good to these class enemies; at least they could choose between machine guns and streetlights.

Especially considering that some of these guys are too heavy, it's easy for the young streetlights to bear an undue weight. Streetlights are public property built by the people, so how can they be wasted like this? They should be thrown into the recycling station to be decomposed. At least the materials can be used to produce new products, which can be considered as atonement for the crimes they have committed.

Those with just the right size were basically swaying back and forth on the streetlights, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers clapping and cheering.

Some were even more tragic, being stoned to death by onlookers, arousing public outrage.

In short, under Liu Jiuli's great purge, even if only rats remain in Chernobog, they will be rats of the exploited class, and the rats of the exploited class will be hung on the streetlights along with the capitalists.

Since then, life in Chernobog has started to improve, and those former thugs have gradually transformed into law-abiding citizens. This made Winter realize that as long as there is hope for survival, there is no real difference between ordinary people and infected individuals.

We are all struggling little people at the bottom of society, mere expendable objects in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy.

Previously, ordinary people vented their anger on the infected, but in reality, it was not ordinary people who were driving all of this, but the powerful and wealthy who were hiding behind the scenes. They used this puppet-like stage play to hide themselves, watching those who were manipulated by petty interests kill each other, while they held up their wine glasses and laughed at the puppets' dullness and stupidity.

The true nature of the world was laid bare for the first time in a bloody manner, and the instigator of this was none other than the current leader of the Red Guards—Liu Jiuli.

Winter also realized that she and they actually shared a common identity—the proletariat.

Well, after coming into contact with this knowledge, Winter felt like she had opened the door to a new world. Her past education became insignificant, and she no longer sang the hymns she used to love.

Who would have thought that the Winter, who could wield an axe and chop people on the battlefield, was actually the leader of the chorus?

Friendly reminder: The real-world Ursus Empire also has its own religion, similar to Eastern Orthodoxy.

They simply call it the Ursus State Religion, and their religion is also called God. In a sense, they are from the same lineage as the Lateran one, except that Lateran does not recognize the Ursus Empire's state religion and believes that they are the true orthodox one.

Coincidentally, the Ursus Empire also did not consider Lateran to be the legitimate dynasty, but believed itself to be the legitimate one, just as the Holy Roman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Italy, and Tongliao all believed themselves to be Rome. Since Rome was dead, they could claim whatever they wanted.

Oh, Istanbul is Rome, and so is the green ivy; the new dynasty is in awe of Rome (trying to provoke the pro-Romean).

But that's all in the past. No matter how beautifully you sing the hymns, God won't come to save you. There has never been a savior, nor do we rely on gods or emperors. If we want to create happiness for mankind, we can only rely on ourselves.

The Internationale sounds quite nice, whether sung in Chinese or Ursus.

Fun fact: The Bolsheviks' translation of The Internationale was not the full text, but rather a selection of the catchy Russian lyrics. It was essentially a secondary creation based on an excerpt, but the essence was preserved.

The bear's artistic talent is truly remarkable (thumbs up).

After being inspired by the truth, Lin Dong felt that she had wasted her life. She now preferred working on construction sites to singing, believing that changing the world with her own hands was far more important than praising God. If God really existed, he would only recognize those who were truly hardworking.

Winter was unaware that she had already touched the threshold of liberation theology.

So when Winter learned that Chernobog was going to fight the Fourth Army, she decided to stay, not for any other reason than for the great Xinyang that was being realized. Chernobog had already seen that possibility, and she should persevere, even if it meant paying the price.

Truth, Gummy, and Liexia all chose to support her. What surprised Winter even more was that Zaolu, a noble lady, also stood by her side. The former members of the Ursus Student Self-Government Association all stayed.

Incidentally, they are all members of the Youth League.

It's good that young people have faith and perseverance, and Liu Jiuli certainly wouldn't dampen their enthusiasm. However, the front line isn't where they should be; the transportation and production in the rear are their responsibility. Let's all keep going!

As the saying goes, revolutionary work is not divided into big and small. Winter was not discouraged because she could not go to the battlefield. Instead, she proved herself with her outstanding performance in the factory at the rear. At the same time, she also showed leadership talent that was different from her peers. She won the red flag for outstanding workers in her first week on the job. After that, the red flag was directly fixed to the work group she was in charge of. The veteran workers in the factory all respected her.

Gumi, Liexia, Zhenli, and Zaolu work together seamlessly and are highly efficient, filling the entire factory with energy.

The only thing that annoyed Winter was that, even at this time, Liu Jiuli, as the leader, still insisted on an eight-hour workday. Despite being in a state of war preparedness, Chernobog did not have the atmosphere of impending war; instead, everything remained the same.

It wasn't that Liu Jiuli was careless; rather, the factory had already produced enough weapons and ammunition, and Liu Jiuli also had a habit of hoarding things.

As a native of Northeast China born in the 1990s, Liu Jiuli's clearest childhood memories are of the cabbages that every household stocked up on in winter, the pickled cabbages made from them, and his family's habit of saving money. So even if the quality of life was lowered, he still had to carry enough money in his pocket to get through tough times.

After growing up, we encountered the pandemic, which completely activated the hamster gene. After all, in our country, it has only been the last two or three decades since people have had enough to eat. We all have the DNA of hoarding something in our bones. If you see fields of farmland while playing Minecraft online, don't doubt it, it must be one of our own.

Therefore, Liu Jiuli fully utilized Chernobog's infrastructure options. With the support of the all-powerful factory, industry and agriculture progressed in tandem. If there was no external economy, they would focus on internal circulation, ensuring that warehouses, especially granaries, were always full! Don't ask why, it was the supreme leader's order, a red-headed document personally signed by Liu Jiuli, with black and white text and an official seal.

As a result, Chernobog's original storage area was filled to overflowing. Normally, this would have been enough, but Liu Jiuli's idea was to "build new warehouses immediately." Then the new warehouses were filled to overflowing, and this process continued indefinitely. From grain warehouses to armories, everything was packed full. Anyone who didn't know better would think that a world war was about to break out.

For example, Chernobog's total military strength (the remaining civilians) has reached 100,000, and the M2 heavy machine guns stored in the warehouse are modified versions of Lao Gan Ma (a popular chili sauce brand) after being engraved with Originium Arts. There are enough for two per person, plus 1,000 rounds of ammunition for each machine gun.

This is already quite exaggerated. The US military, with its formidable firepower, only produced 414 billion rounds of ammunition during World War II. Liu Jiuli currently has 2 million rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition. This is the result of the massive consumption of ammunition at the training grounds and the continuous production at the factories. This reserve is more than enough for the troops to use freely.

Incidentally, Japan's total bullet production during World War II was 80 billion rounds, compared to the United States' 414 billion rounds. This only reflects the difference in small arms bullets; the difference in artillery shells, cannons, and tanks is negligible. It's not surprising that Japan lost.

If Liu Jiuli could mass-produce the 155 now, he would definitely use these big pipes to smash the other side until they questioned their existence.

Therefore, factories don't need to operate at full capacity; maintaining normal production is sufficient. Meanwhile, soldiers are engaged in various training exercises with live ammunition every day on the training grounds, and mortar units are firing shells until they're sick of it.

"Today's training involves firing a thousand shells, and we need to ensure a hit rate of over 90%!"

Indeed, everyone's military skills have been trained to the point that all the Red Guard soldiers are now eager to give the Ukrainian troops who are charging in to their deaths a good beating and ensure that they are killed on the spot.

Another workday ended, and everyone left on time. Winter decided to go to the newly opened shop for some skewers with everyone. It was a pity that the girls were still students and not old enough to drink alcohol, otherwise they would have definitely carried out the Ursus tradition: after the bears raised their glasses, a few of them had to lie down.

But just as Winter and her group were about to clock out, an alarm suddenly went off.

Natural disaster alert

Section 80: The Advantage Lies With Me!

Natural disasters are an old friend of Terra; it feels strange when there aren't any.

Chernobog had already suffered from natural disasters, the devastating power of which was terrifying.

However, it should be noted that Chernobog suffered a natural disaster because of the Black Serpent's plan. Otherwise, a natural disaster with a fixed location would generally be difficult to completely destroy a mobile city. At most, it would destroy a few blocks, unless the mobile city itself moved to the disaster zone.

After the alarm was raised, Chernobog immediately began to change routes, but this meant that he would run into the Fourth Army ahead of schedule.

"It doesn't matter, we're all prepared anyway, let's proceed according to plan."

Liu Jiuli remained completely calm. As long as he had enough contingency plans, there was no need to rush into anything.

The mobilization order was issued quickly, and all blocks entered a state of readiness. At the same time, Chernobog began to slow down and then reverse.

As Chernobog moved away from the disaster zone, Liu Jiuli stood atop the control building in the core city. From several kilometers away, the sky there displayed a dazzling array of colors, the optical refraction caused by the surging Originium energy, resembling a beautiful aurora.

The beauty before destruction, a beauty that only bystanders can see, not those directly affected by the disaster.

Liu Jiuli remembered that after leaving the sarcophagus, when he walked on the main road of Chernobog, the sky was gray and the whole world seemed to be imprisoned, with an indescribable sense of oppression, just like the ending of the Mad King of the Old Man Ring.

In games, you feel the emotions through a screen, but in reality, it's an immersive experience that's incredibly satisfying.

At this moment, Talulah walked over and said, "Scouts report that the Fourth Army is accelerating its march and is expected to make contact with us in four hours."

Liu Jiuli nodded and ordered, "Execute the plan."

"Yes!"

One command after another was issued from the core city. Immediately afterwards, the various blocks of Chernobog began to separate and were deliberately distributed in a seemingly scattered manner, giving the impression that the Red Guard high command had fled the core city on their own.

The core urban area began to move in the direction of the natural disaster, deliberately leaving behind a somewhat messy transfer trail; the first step was considered complete.

Four hours later, the Fourth Army's land-based naval forces arrived at the site of the abandoned city block in Chernobog, only to find it in complete disarray.

On the command tower, Vasily sneered, "In the end, they are just lowly rats who gained some advantage through underhanded means and then slunk away."
